Lyrics: Well it's not far down to paradise, at least's not for me If the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me It's not far to never, never land, reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me Sailing, takes me away To where I've always heard it Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free Fantasy, it gets the best of me when I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony, won't you believe me? Sailing, takes me away To where I've always heard it Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free It's not far back to sanity at least it's not for me And when the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity Oh the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me Sailing, takes me away To where I've always heard it Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
